VWD 2010E (on Win7) always uses IE9 no matter what the system default browser

  • 0

VWD 2010E (on Win7) always uses IE9 no matter what the system default browser is. I’ve tried making both Chrome and FireFox the default browser, it works with Word for instance, but VWD 2010E always uses IE9. It was working properly in the past but now no matter what I do it is stuck on IE9. Is there a setting somewhere that I’m missing?

Thanks, Joe

This question concerns an ASP.NET MVC 3 Web Application, not Web Forms.

    I had been running VWD 2010 Express as admin. When I run as my local account VWD 2010 Express uses whatever the default browser is for my local windows account. I haven’t checked but the default browser for the windows admin account was probably different for the two different disk images.

    To sum up. VWD 2010 Express DOES use the default browser with MVC projects. The default browser is for the profile of whoever VWB2010 Express is running under, not for the local windows session.
